I can relate to that, Ocm?. Some of my most cherished books/notes that I still have from high school are my notebooks full of doodles. I'm surprised I learned anything, though things I didn't understand then seem to have somehow embedded in my brain through osmosis and then later they became quite clear.

I feel much the same.
For me that begs a question
regarding aging.

I'm covered from head to toe with wise-cracks.

One pretty nice thing
a friend said, when we were teens,
"She has her own face."

I also like seeing, and hearing people say, that some of my children have my face. The other has his mom's.

I had a good dream, but now I've forgotten it.
(is this a metaphor to every single human life?)

I looked for a thread already devoted to this interesting, important topic but surprisingly didn't find any.

But I was reminded of it again this morning as I pulled my bag of Original Sun Chips from my desk to snack on as I got rolling in work. Of course all my co-workers within 50 yards starting laughing again since the bag is so damn noisy and we were just talking about FritoLay's recent announcement that they are abandoning these new "noisy" bags and going back to the good old quiet bags.

The new noisy bags are a biodegradable material and, as shown on the bag, they decompose within a few months. The old quiet bags take years or more to decompose.

Due to customer complaints about the noisy bags and plummeting sales of Sun Chips since they went with the new bags, FritoLay is abandoning the "green" and going red again.

Another positive aspect of the noisy bags that I liked is that my kids can't sneak into my stash of Sun Chips without me knowing about it!

That's my green report for the day.

I remember the the thread about the "noisy" (ear-splitting) bags now produced by the Sun Chips parent Co. (I believe it to be the Frito-Lays Corp.). It's buried somewhere in General Discussion, timetable, 3-6 mos. ago.

Then I'm not surprised I missed it since I don't frequently look in GD to much depth other than scan thread titles for possible interest. I guess if I saw it before it didn't strike me until it became more personal. Now I want my noisy bags!

hm.. exactly a month later, and I now post what I wanted to post tomorrow (then)...
(and still, I have "stuff" left in my archives from 2.5+ sun-cycles ago, which I have not viewed more than once).

I'm incorrigible (whatever that means, and if I spelled it right, and ... I don't think another word rhymes with it.)

That guy might make more money as a dealer at a casino.

Incorrigible,
like dealers at casinos,
can be a good thing.

Incorrigible,
like a serial killer,
can be very bad.

Incorrigible,
like these terrible haiku,
varies quite a bit.

If you would like or need a vote of confidence that your haikus are at least fun, and often thought provoking, take this.

(an invisibly-typed punch to the virtual face?)

I'll take it to heart,
inasmuchas that's my aim,
& its own reward.

Gorgeous.

Thanks, Jet. I love flower petals. They're so beautiful they can bring a tear to my eye, which is what this one, found following your link, reminds me of:

And this one seems to fit beautifully in the "wave" category:

Taking any joy
out of feeling depression
defeats its purpose.

23 into 46 = 2

Shrugging my shoulders
is almost as useful as
raising my eyebrows.

I agree / don't know

Comedy / Tragedy

Those might be close things,
related like love and hate -
not to be confused.

Black-and-white thinking
only seems less perplexing
than sorting through grays.

I don't know why I feel compelled to mention it, but that's sorta the same thing I recall remarked by a certain once-18-year-old pornstar (who's nearly mainstream famous now).

I'd much prefer it to be a cute girl making these sort of gesticulations, (is this the word?) but then again, re-thinking it, I wouldn't mind seeing a fellow with a big fuzzy beard (it needs to be done in the same voice) articulating the pre-supposed movements.

6.213 kms (3.86miles) in 2 minutes, 7 seconds
Average speed 176km/hour, or 109 mph.


Over the 161 laps (1000 kms) they average around 160 ks and hour, including pit stops/driverchanges. (2 drivers per car)
Yep, thats right. Its Bathurst time again.

You have to watch a video.. Personally chosen for content.

Beauty, Zooksport2!
Auto racing, I don't know,
& like that input.

Thanks, Zook. I love those V8 Supercars. If I don't see more of that on television this year, somebody's gonna have hell to pay!!!

Maybe I can find someplace that streams that to the net.

racecar...purring throaty palindrome.

Guiding Light: Longest running dramatic series of any genre. Longest running daytime drama.

Started on my 3rd birthday, June 30, 1952 and ran through September 18, 2009.

So like gossipping,
& my grandma ate it up,
saying she didn't.

(2into(3x4))-7=-1

my mom was a huge fan of "As the World Turns"...she probably still would be if it was still on the air ...or on the cable

"As the World Turns is an American television soap opera which aired on CBS from April 2, 1956 to September 17, 2010."

Lisa & Bob. How I remember them well.

Back in the day before my mother eventually rebelled against ironing everything.

I was afraid of Lisa.

With no need to fear,
retaining ability,
we do it for fun.

I awoke with artful sleep-wrinkle patterns on my arm this morning.
That was some fine beauty rest.

and, I, quite the opposite...


I off now. The race is on!

2x(3+4)=7+7

I hope your car wins
with its man behind the wheel
if they deserve to.

can't find Bathurst 1000 coverage online....seems it's blocked out around here.

This year was the first year for streaming, so there was only a couple of sites available.

Here's is a youtube of some of the highlights...:

Ho Hum... Holden (GM) wins agains....



and a crash compilation...

Highlights say it all
while we try to theorize
whatever it means.

...play naked!
